<span>You could easily define it this way. This would be valid. But for most of history it was unclear when a baby was conceived, so it would be silly for someone to say their baby was 9 months old when it was actually born at only 8.5 months. Days of conception similarly would not be a good substitute for birthdays because no one would know them. Then in general it was much easier to mark someone's age as when they came into the world as an independent being, and this tradition is far too entrenched (and simple and easy to handle and universal for people in poor countries etc) to think we would at all gain from now finding exactly the date of conception and counting age from that point.</span>

What's the dielectric constant of ceramic?<br> A. 1,200<br> B. 900<br> C. 80<br> D. 7.500
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

7.5

Explanation:

The dielectric constant of ceramics is about 7.5.

The dielectric constant of a substance is the ratio of the electric permeability of a substance to the electric permeability of free space.

Dielectric constant gives a good overview about the ability of substance to store charges compared to another.

Most substances have their electric constant and they suggest the ease by which they can store electrical energy. This is very important in developing capacitors.
